There was more noise in Menegroth than there had been for a long time. Sauron had channelled his distraught emotions into work, as many needed their metal objects repaired or remade in preparation for the journey, but now he judged both his voice and his thoughts steady enough to visit his Master.

They needed to plan, now that the Valar had made their move. The chessboard was set.

And as usual, we're playing black and they got the first move, he thought with a smile.

Lost in contemplation, he absently touched the door to "Malbeth's" chamber and opened it without knocking.
